Exactly. It's simple.
It's not a fine, it's a penalty. We don't have to pay anything. Our cap space got reduced, so we can pay our players by $36 million less than we otherwise would have. The rest of the league gets a piece of that $36 million added to their cap, so they get more space, offsetting our loss in space.
So the players on a league-wide basis are kept whole.
